The Crémants d’Alsace Réserve de l’Abbaye pay tribute to the victorious origins and past of Marlenheim, cradle of the Strasbourg viticulture. Famous since the 6th century, the vineyard developed during the reigns of the Merovingian and Carolingian kings. It is in 589 that Gregory of Tours witnessed the vineyard of the city. During the stay of Childebert II in this Gallo-Roman city, a plot to assassinate the King of Austrasia was foiled. We therefore have the first evidence of the Alsatian viticulture. During this period, the wines of Alsace were monopolised by the priests; and the vineyard was divided between the Abbeys of Andlau and of Haslach.

Réserve de l’Abbaye is a hallmark for the excellence of these Crémants d’Alsace, quintessence of the House of Arthur Metz know-how. The grapes are selected with care, vinified according to best practice, grouped together with harmony and balance, and aged on lees for more than 18 months. Known for the finesse of their bubbles, the Crémants Réserve de l’Abbaye are characterised by lively and fruity notes, full of elegance and nobility. A range of 4 different aromatic profiles is offered to you according to the occasion and your taste buds: the noble Cuvée 1904 – authentic; the Blanc de Noirs – rich and fruity; the Chardonnay – round and like a brioche; the Bi-grape variety – luxuriant and rich. They will ideally accompany all your gastronomic encounters, celebrations and aperitifs.
